    battery charger alternative

    Rarely, if ever do people put enough hours on a boat to fully recharge a starting battery each outing. Guessing your two batteries in series are ~80 amp hours range. If you discharge the batteries to 1/2 capacity (80 amps,) your looking a recharge time in hours = 80 amps/charger output

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Most people don't understand the saturation point of E10 varies with the temperature of the fuel. Fill up with 90F fuel and it cools to 80F at night, you're dumping water in the bottom of the tank. Works the other way as well. Pump 60F fuel from an under ground tank into a tank of 90 F fuel...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Not necessarily......E10 can hold approximately 0.5% water at 68F (.64 ounces in a gallon, or 12 ounces of water in a 20-gallon gas tank) I hold 150 gallons of fuel. At 68 degrees, that is 3/4 gallon of water each time I fill up

    Hook4 wont load cmap genesis?

    CMap and Navionics are different map formats now owned by competing companies. Garmin own Navionics and Simrad owns CMap Don't know of any units that support both formats Guessing the hook doesn't have enough memory to load the entire chart data

    Trying to find a location in the Gulf

    That's a unlighted fish trap or anchorage buoy. Nav aides get moved, replace and removed all the time. Unless a fixed structure (light tower, nav buoy, etc.) good luck finding an unidentified marker in open water from 20 years ago.

    SiriusXm Infolink receiver from Furono works with Simrad?

    It will work, but the Furuno uses an Ethernet (Cat 5) connector on the output to connect to the MFD. The Navico uses a connector of their own design. Would need to find an adapter to connect the Furunuo to your unit
